yea it goes as a hit when he probably should be 0 for 4 for the day. But it was a deep hit and right at the rookie. Post season ball is different and the veteran Ortiz probably intended to hit it right at the rookie. Even if it was an out, the rest of the team was eventually going to rattle Moore's cage.

yea, it goes as a hit ....

after that you're just full of snot. When all the balls that should have been hits are caught, ya never really get to count them ... or you NEVER GET to count them as hits. GIVE UP THE PAPI BASHING and the baseball duhs ...

Bill I'm disappointed in you man, you claim to be this big Sox fan and after a huge, awesome win you choose to bash Papi in an underhanded way.

You may not realize but Papi was the one who came back to the clubhouse and told the guys to go directly after the fastball, which turned out to be the key to the game offensively - and then Lester's awesome performance.

You need to find a better way to root for the team than to let one player (and your incorrect predictions about that player) to color your experience.

CONGRATS SOX ON A GREAT, GREAT WIN!!!!!

nOW WAIT A MINUTE PLEASE...... As SGT. FRIDAY would say, "Just stating the facts, Mam" !!!! To all of you that are attacking me, "it is what it is" , I didn't get to bat once yesterday........ Now , its on to game 2 ...... GO SOX & PAPI toooo!!

They all hit last night. It was starting to sound like batting practice. I think it's great..but I hope they can keep up that offensive pace going forward. Moore was clearly struggling and the Sox offense capitalized on that.

I don't get..after such a great game where literally every player in the lineup contributed...that the only hit we are talking about today is the one by Ortiz.....shaking my head.

You should be a happier yaz after a great win. But how about being fair to Bill. Anyone else out there in center makes that catch and Ortiz is 0 for 4 for the day.

LOL Pike, is that you, again ... thanks for the "should be" crap.

I'm just fine with the win. You missed my point by the entire width of the continental USA ...

Batters don't get to count "almost hits" by fine plays as offensive plusses. So why knock Papi for a not so great defensive play .... stupid.
